We now have a small selection (Hey! We’re a small non-profit!) of thank-you gifts available.
First premium: For a minimum donation of $5 (which includes shipping and handling), you can show your AJAS pride with a beautiful JOINED AGAINST silicone wristband.
You now have your choice of three wristbands. The original solid-blue, narrow wristband at left; a blue and white, narrow wrist band; or a double-wide, solid-blue wristband that proudly proclaims “I KICK ASs.”
Additional wristbands are available at $3 each if mailed in the same package.
Second premium: For a minimum donation of $20 (which includes shipping and handling), you can have an awesome Team Fuse T-shirt. The new T-shirts come in many colors and in sizes from adult small to adult 4X. Get both the T-shirt and the wristband for $23 and pay only once for shipping and handling.
As of March 2012, we’re running low on the T-shirts and are about to run another batch. At this point, we have mostly whites in Large, an orange in Small, a red in 4X, some blues and greys in 2X and XL. If you’d like a T-shirt, please tell us (1) your size, (2) your preferred color, (3) your second choice in color, and (4) if you’d rather wait until that color is available again.
You can get your hands on a wristband (and your bod in a T-shirt) by either clicking on the gold PayPal button below that says “Donate” or by mailing a check to ATHLETES JOINED AGAINST SPONDYLITIS, 2836 Westbrook Dr., Cincinnati OH 45211.
You will receive a receipt for your donation for tax purposes (minus the value of the premium you choose). If you mail cash, put it in the type of envelope you can’t see through. If you mail coins, tape them to an index card first. If you mail a check, please make your check out to Athletes Joined Against Spondylitis.
Check this page often. We will add more items when we feel it is feasible and fiscally appropriate.








Hello,
My name is Megan Anders and I am the Sustainability Intern, Sports and Recreation. We are doing a sports equipment drive and our paintball team wants to donate a bunch of paintball pants, and I am looking for a great place for them to go. Is there someone I can talk to about finding a good home for these pants?
Thank you!
Megan Anders
Hi Megan! Thanks for contacting us!
We would really appreciate your donation — and since we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation would be tax deductible. Where are you located?
Please email me at wendy.beckman@joinedagainst.org and we can work out the details. I might not get back to you until next week, though, because this weekend is the first PSP tournament (in Galveston).
Thanks again! Your donation will help defray our costs in meeting our primary goal of raising awareness of ankylosing spondylitis. I appreciate it very much.
Wendy
